Front Yard Ballas

The Front Yard Ballas is the largest and most powerful set of the Ballas gang of Los Angeles, California. The group controlled Inglewood and southern East Los Angeles, having taken over the former from the Grove Street Families and the latter from the Vagos. By 1987, they had made a name for themselves as a fierce gang, and they were constantly at war with the nearby GSF; their set leader Kane was killed at the funeral of Kilo Tray Ballas member Little Weasel in 1992. In late April 1992, the Grove Street Families retook Compton and Inglewood from the Front Yard Ballas, and the FYB eventually lost all of its turf to the GSF.
